The Kiirden of Had Koads. This is one of the seasons of the year when the farmers do the greatest amount of hauling, and yet how few ever consider how burdensotfte the bad roads are. It is not exagerating to say that the farmerof Aiken Coun ty who pays perhaps twenty dollars in taxes pays double or treble that sum in repairs lj> harness and vehicles, and injuries to draft animals, besides the loss of time incurred from bad reals. Moreover, horses and mules which pull heav3’ loads over bad roads require much more feed than those which are in use where the roads are good, and they become worn out much sooner. A horse in constant use on good roads will be seiviceable several years longer than one con stantly used on bad roads. Good roads are a fair indication of the prosperity of a community. It is worthy of notice that thrifty and prosperous people live along the line of good roads, and their homes have a comfortable appearance. As a rule they are people who buy newspapers and the latest books. Good roads are such a help to them in getting their productions to market and enable them to efleet such a saving in horse flesh and in repairs to wagons and harness that they can afford •many little luxuries. A road congress for the South meets in Atlanta on tho 29th inst., and we trust that the members of it will make some practical suggestions that may lead to improving the roads. This State is far behind many others in road-making and road-repairing, and this question would be a good one for the Aliiance to grapple. The Al liance lecturers would do the farmers more good by making themselves fa miliar with methods employed to im prove the roads in localities where the roads are good, and explaining them to the farmers, than in attempt ing to solve abstruse financial ques tions. We observe that a very important piece of legislation is now before the Georgia Legislature in the shape of a bill that places the direction of road work in the hands of the County Commissioners, County Judge or Or dinary 7 , whichever of these authori ties is in charge of County matters. A tax of 2-10 of 1 per cent, is author- izu« to be levied, which, with the commutation xaxT^not Weeding $4 per year, shall constitute a road fund. Roads may also be worked by chain- gangs. It is just some such legislation as this that is needed in our own State, as it is probable that only by some such means can we get our roads properly 7 worked. The cotton market continues in the same remarkable, uncertain condi tion. The last bureau report has not added strength to prices, and is con strued to indicate a crop of about 7,o00,000 bales. It is evident that the greatest amouut of injury has been sustained in the states that produce small quantities of cotton—South Carolina and Virginia in particular— and the least injury in those that pro duce the most. The weekly receipts continue somewhat in excess of those of the corresponding weeks of last year, but this condition may be caused by’ farmers bringing in their cotton for sale as soon as it is ginned, instead of holding back as they did last year. The Georgia Legislature has tackled the Ocala platform, and it is thought that the Alliance members are in suf ficient strength to force the endorse ment of the platform. Many of the Alliance men labor under the delu sion that by the adoption of this plat form they 7 can incorporate it into the Democratic party. This can not be done. They cannot by resolution make those measures constitutional and democratic, which are in them selves unconstuutioal and republican. Cotton closed dull and easier yes terday, with middling at 8 cents in Augusta. The receipts to date at the ports, together with stocks at the ports, aggregate about 350,000 bales in excess of last year at the same time. Editor Edmunds of the Manufactur ers’ Record, lias written Governor Tillman a letter in which he urges the representation of South Carolina at the World’s Fair. He also desires to know what the state authorities are doing to secure such representa tion. The private Secretary of the Gov ernor mailed the Editor a newspaper containing what Governor Tillman has had to say about the convention during Fair week, which was called under authority of the State govern ment. Unusual as it is for a negro to com mit suicide, such is the news from the eastern section of Orangeburg County. Jacob Keitt, a negro of 35 or 40, jumped into a well Wednes day morning on Mr. Nathan Stoude- niire’s place and drowned himself, t Keitt had been sick for some time ’and became very despondent. He .was leit by himself. He came out of ihe house, walked to the well, pulled ^flJiis coat, hung it on the curbing i^iut then jumped in. \w. T. Monteith, Esq., was in con ference with Governor Tillman on Saturday for some time concerning direef tax matters. As a result the governor will make a request of the Secretary of the interior for the pos- Ht sHion of certain records which will s»> « much trouble to boldt is of claims in the future.—TAe State. It will I5<> Coiit<-Hte<l l*y Many Heir* to Her Estate. Nashville, Oct. 14.—When the will of Mrs. Polk, widow of President James K. Polk, wits admitted to probate re cently, it was found that Sirs. Polk had left the Polk place to Mrs. G. W. Fall, her niece, who has resided with Mrs. Polk at the Polk -place for many years. It was soon understood that the will would be contested, and the expected struggle to retain possession of the Polk place on the part of Mrs. Fall, and the determination on the part of the con- sanguiuous heirs of President Polk, was begun by the filing of a bill in the chancery court at Nashville by the Polk heirs through their attorney 7 . The bill recites at length the provi sions of President Polk’s will and the will left by his widow, Mrs. Sarah Polk, and gives the names and locations of between forty 7 and fifty heirs to the property 7 . The bill declares Mrs. Fail refuses to leave the premises, and the complainants ask that a receiver be ap pointed who shall take possession of tiie place and collect rents, pay 7 taxes and take care of the property on the ground that G. W. Fall is insolvent, and rents cannot be collected from his wife. The bill states that Mrs. Fall’s claim to the property is based upon the residuary clause of the will of the dead president, Dy which, in case his will does not go into operation. Mrs. Polk would come into possession, and, as Mrs. Polk left everything to Mrs. Fall, the defend ants claim that she is the rightful heir to the Polk place. This will form the basis of the contest in the suit which, owing to the prominence of the parties interested, will agitate the social sur face. THE NASHVILLE AMERICAN. It Is liiirnt-d Out—Thirty Printers Hurely Escape Death. Nashville, Oct. 14.—Flames were discovered in the rear stairway of The Daily 7 American building, corner of Church and Cheny streets. The edit orial force and Associated Press and United Press operators of the third floor barely had time to escape by 7 the main stairway, while the thirty print ers on the fourth floor had to take the fire escape. There they hung 15 min utes until a ladder was brought. The smoke and flames in the meantime were pouring out of the windows at their side, and nearly suffocating them. Finally all crawled down. Ed Buchan an, the foreman, was cut off fn m the fire escape and descended from the fourth floor by a rope. At this writing the composition room is gutted at a loss of about $10,000. The roof is burned from the building and the rear from the basement up is burned out. The files on the third floor of every secular paper published in Nashville for sixty 7 years, are doubtless ruined by water. The basement is flooded, and tie press and other machinery costing $•.‘.>,000, will be badly injured. The building belongs to G. M. Fogg, and is damaged about $10,000. The fire at 10 o’clock was under control, but very stubborn. ECUMENICAL COUNCIL. Bishop Hargrove Presides — Report t»J th» Business Committee. Washington, Oct. 14. —Bishop R. K. of the M— F. Choreh ijaqth, ot JNashville, presided at the opening of the sixth day 7 ’s session of the ecumenical Methodist council. Rev. Dr. Patterson of the same church, delivei’ed a prayer, and Rev. Dr. David Morton of Louis ville. read the scriptures. The business committee reported the receipt of the following papers: A memorial concerning the death of Rev. Dr. Porter; a motion to send a deputa tion to the pan-Presbyterian council, Toronto, in 1892; a memorial from the Congregational Methodist church: a memorial from the M. E. Church West. The resolution was referred p> a com mittee concerning the joint action of the Methodist missionary bodies work ing in the same field, reported back favorably 7 and a committee was ap pointed to consider the subject. The council then proceeded to the order of the day, the subject—" The Church and Her Agencies. ” RATHER ROMANTIC. A Man Marries the Daughter of His First Love. Parkersburg, W. Va , Oct. 14.—The marriage of John Ring, aged 70, of Ca bell county, and Miss Marry Donnan, aged 20, of .St. Albans, is somewhat ro mantic. An old friend of the aged groom says that Ring was at one time in love with Miss Donnon’s mother, but on account of his then comparative poverty 7 was forced to see her wooed and won by 7 her present husband. He re mained true in his feeling, however, and when his present bride was a little girl became much attached to her. In appearance so much like her mother, the old gentleman found in her childish affection a solace for the loss of her mother's love. As the girl grew to wo manhood the old gentleman became a wealthy man, and when he sought the hand of Miss Donnan a short time ago found the mother a ready helper in the match. The groom has just purchased a fine farm near the Donnan home and will enjoy his last days in the sunlight of the smiles of his young bride. A Sheriff ami Deputy Missing. Florence, Ala., Oct. 14.—Considera ble uneasiness exists in police circles over the continued absence of Sheriff Porter and Deputy Hines of this coun ty. Ten days ago they left for Tennes see, in seach of the man Coley, wanted in this city for murder. The day after they left a telegram was received from Porter, at Hickman. Ky. Since then nothing has been heard of either of them. The day after the two left this city 7 the murderer, Coley, was brought here by 7 a Tennessee officer. The last heard of the two missing officers was a telegram received by 7 the general man ager of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Foul play is suspected, and Marshal Blair, with Constable Charley Price, started for Hickman, Ky., where they were last heard from, to see if they could be found. \ fort •-five seconds, according to locall- i ties where noied. The general direc-1 tion seemed to be from the northeast to ! southwest. On Popula ranch, near Sonoma, which contains a number of warm water springs, the earthquake caused the water to gush forth in great quantity. Opelika’* Annual Fair. Opelika, Ala., Oct. 13.—Extensive preparations are being made for Ope lika’s annual fair, which begins Nov. 16 and continues one week. It promises to be the most successful and magnifi cent one ever held in east Alabama. Satisfactory arrangements with the rail roads as to rates and schedules have been made. The premium list is the largest and most varied ever offered. The buildings have been enlarged, the grounds improved and the race track has been put in excellent condition. The space has all been taken for exhibits, and some of the fastest trotting horses in the state will be here. Among the attractions will be Pawnee Bill’s wild west show, which always draws immense crowds. The management, composed of our most intelligent and enterprising business men, has not left a stone un turned to make it a complete success, Mexican Destitution. San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 13.—D. P.

He say’s that there is great destit utioii among the lower classes of Mexicans in Chi huahua and Durango. Ttiere are about 4,000 people seeking employment on the railroad extension between Tarreou and Durango. Tuese men and their fami lies are half starved and in utter want. The railroad contractors and construe- tio., bosses have hard work in keeping off the hungry horde. Those who have work receive from 25 to 35 cents in Mexican money per day. There are hundreds who subsist entirely on the Magnay plant. The drouth, however, has been broken, and there indications of better times. California Earthquake. San Francisco, Oct. 13.—The effects of the earthquake which visited some portions of northern California appears to have been greatest in Napa and Son oma valley 7 , where the shock is described as being the heaviest exjierienced since the great quake of 1868. At Napa and Sonomo, walls cracked, chimneys were demolished, in some instances falling through the roof. Window glass was broken, people were roused from their be«H. and many passed the night in the streets. The heaviest shock occurred ut loii) o’clock s”id Listed, fxoxij ten ty He Is Waiitrcl in North Carolina. Raleigh, Oct. 13.—In July of last year R. E. Gill, one of the most prominent far mers of Franklin county 7 , w 7 as assassina ted. It was a mysterious crime, and soon after it was committed several arrests were made. In one of these cases lynch ing was narrowly escaped, but all par ties arrested proved an alibi. Recently it was ascertained, on what appeared to be good evidence, that the real murderer had gone to Florida, and was in jail in Alachua county 7 . Governor Holt made a requisition for the man whom there is every evidence is a murderer. His name is Henry Jones. An officer left with the requisition, and will tako Jones to Louisburg for immediate trial. Crops in Great Britain. London, Oct. 13.—The Times pub lishes a final estimate of the state of the crops in Great Britain, and says that it anticipates a bad yield and of indifferent quality. Much of the grain stacked is in such a condition as to necessitate great delay before it erfo be thrashed. The real state of affairs therefore will not be known for a month. It is possi ble the harvest, as a whole, may 7 not be worse than of recent years, but in many districts the crops will be the worst in forty years, and the farmers will not be able, as they had hoped, to recoup themselves for recent losses by abun dant crons and.improved prices. Devoured by His Own Hogs. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 13.—John Land, a farmer, who lived seventeen miles southeast of Topeka, went to his feed ing yards to take care of his stock. As he did not return for breakfast, his wife went to look for him. In the hog yard she found her husband’s body, with from forty to fifty hogs fighting over it and tearing it to pieces. He had prob ably been dead halt an hour when the body was found. An Oil Firm Fails. Washington, Oct. 13.—The failure of Hart Bros., the well known oil firm, is announced. The liabilities are said to be $150,000, of which amount $40,000 is due the Standard Oil company 7 . The assets, it is claimed, will hie sufficient to pay all claims in full.
